there is voter suppression and that is #1, we need to focus on the mid-terms and get people to start paying a whole lot more attention to local elections from dog catcher to , judges to state senator, sec of state etc. not sure how the recount distracts from that...it will be over in a week or two. How does the recount have any impact on whether or not people are focused on other things, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. I think there is a good possibility it will show how rotten and systemic our election infrastructure is vs. voter fraud. It is highly unlikely that any voter fraud would be uncovered, but it could give us more ammunition to point to the f'd up system we have by calling into question the legitimacy of the outcome in say, Michigan. Finally, Jill Stein is not going to use that money to buy a summer home, no one is "giving her money", it's mostly been spent already, it's not hers to keep.
